SAMPLE ABSTRACT

THE VARIABILITY OF SOIL MOISTURE UNDER DESERT VEGETATION

Theodore Sammis (New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico)

     Soil water content was measured every two weeks during 1975-1976 using a neutron probe at selected locations around the desert plant species of creosote (Larrea divaricata), bursage (Ambrosia deltoidea), and in open space. The purpose of the measurements was to estimate the evapotranspiration rate of the desert plants by measuring changes in soil moisture. The sampling problem associated with measuring soil moisture using neutron access tubes is the number, location, and installation depth of the tubes. Analysis of variance of the total soil moisture beneath the creosote plant showed a greater variability between tubes of different plants the same distance from the crown of the plant than between tubes located around the same plant. Because of the size of the Bursage plant, the variety in total soil moisture beneath the plant was greater among tubes around the same plant than between tubes at the same location at different plants.
